Where Lost Hope Lies

Through the endless shadows we turn

Amongst the fires of the past we burn

For the sake of the child we fend

Yet unto an unknown will, we bend

For these flames that urge to caress our skin

Wears us down much too thin

To the highest mountain I shall walk

Through fields uncertain

Where I fought

There rises unbeknownst a cry

Culpability smiles

Seething and keeping watch

Once again it is all my fault

I must evade lest they hear

These struggles brought in agony

The starlit smouldering sky

Where arrows burn in flight

There remains yet a flicker of hope for you

Awaken, set forth and persist

Born out of despair, flames, and grief

This power grows ever so greatly within me

For there is no place left to hide

For the anger in me won't subside

My eyes have much to tell

And your empty stare will lead us into your hell

For I always knew you were already gone

Every passing day it is you I miss

My final message to you is this

From the sorrow and rage, I desist

Unrequited, I no longer exist
